How can elementary schools build a structured, progressive media literacy pathway from Grade 1 to 6?

With screens, social media, algorithms and artificial intelligence now part of everyday life, families can rely on a few simple, practical principles: build a foundation of trust, develop critical-thinking skills, lead by example and, above all, keep the conversation going. These everyday habits can gradually help young people become more independent, responsible and informed in their use of technology.
